Title: Procede de determination d'une lentille ophtalmique utilisant une prescription d'astigmatisme en vision de loin et en vision de pres
Inventor: DONETTI BERANGERE
IPC: G02C7/02
Filed: 2004-07-27
Abstract: L'invention a pour objet un procédé de détermination par optimisation d'une lentille ophtalmique. Elle propose de tenir compte non seulement de la prescription du porteur en vision de loin - puissance, amplitude et axe de l'astigmatisme - mais aussi de la prescription du porteur en vision de près. Cette prescription en vision de près est mesurée en vision binoculaire. La lentille est alors définie par optimisation, en utilisant comme cible les prescriptions de puissance et d'astigmatisme en vision de loin et en vision de près. L'invention permet de tenir compte des variations d'astigmatisme découlant des conditions de visée - les objets étant généralement plus loin en vision de loin qu'en vision de près. Elle permet aussi de tenir compte des variations d'astigmatisme provoquées par les déformations physiologiques de l'oeil dans sa rotation pour passer d'une direction primaire du regard à une direction du regard adaptée à la vision de près.

Filed: 2006-02-28
Abstract: Personal mobility, multiparty control, and device augmentation features are provided within a voice-over-Internet protocol environment, such as a distributed feature composition (DFC) telecommunications architecture. The personal mobility features allow a caller to be identified to a callee using a desired identifier in place of an identifier of the device from which a call is made.

Patent CA-2549079-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BANOUB JOSEPH H
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2006-05-25
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a simple method for absolute quantification of plasma vitellogenin from two or more different fish species such as Rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon, or Atlantic cod and haddock. In the case of Rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon, plasma samples obtained from control and .beta.-estradiol induced fish were digested with trypsin. A characteristic 'signature peptide' was selected and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography coupled to an electrospray quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometer, using a deuterated homologue peptide as an internal standard. The hybrid tandem mass spectrometer was operated in a 'pseudo' selected reaction monitoring mode by which three diagnostic product ions were monitored for identification and quantification purposes. The reproducibility (coefficient of variation -5%) and sensitivity (limit of quantification of 0.009 mg/mL) achieved by this simple assay allow it to be considered as an alternative to immunological assays. In the case of Atlantic cod and haddock, the amino acid sequence of the vitellogenin protein has not yet been determined, but, the Atlantic cod vitellogenin has been characterized using a 'bottom-up' mass spectrometric approach. Vitellogenin synthesis was induced 'in vivo' with .beta.-Estradiol, and subjected to trypsin digestion for characterization by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-Quadrupole-Time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry. A peptide mass fingerprint was obtained and 'de novo' sequencing of the most abundant tryptic peptides was performed by low energy collision induced dissociation-tandem mass spectrometry. Thus, the sequences of various tryptic peptides have been elucidated. It has also been determined that Atlantic cod vitellogenin shares a series of common peptides with the two different known vitellogenin sequences of Haddock, a closely related species. There are also disclosed novel isolated signature peptides, namely Thr-Tyr-Phe-Ala-Gly-Ala-Ala-Ala-Asp-Val-Leu-Glu-Val-Gly-Val-Arg and DLGLAYTEK.
